From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE comes a surprise Billionaire Bad Boys Bonus Novella.

Question: What would you do if you lost your best friend’s horse?

Relax. This is purely hypothetical.

But, seriously, what would you do?

It’s an easy Sunday at home while your wife’s at work, and you look away for two minutes to make lunch for a couple of demanding toddlers. Somehow, by magical mist or advanced parkour, the monster is gone.

Okay, fine. It’s not hypothetical.
The guy off of work is me, Thatcher Kelly, and the horse I lost is actually Kline’s ginormous dog.

But I still have his kids and demon cat, along with my own child and pig. I’m practically batting .667 at this point, and that’s a pretty good average. Right?

Or one short jump from the devil’s number.

Motherfluffer.

Thatch and Cassie......these two 😆 There are just no words that can adequately describe their married life. 😂

A cute little novella with these two crazy people.


My Thoughts:
The following are my thoughts about this novella:
- How much do I love Thatch?.....OMG, so much. 💗
- If you haven’t experienced Thatch before, I suggest you pick up the Billionaire Bad Boys series and read that first.
- Thatch’s little prank.....If I were his wife I might go a little crazy on him too.
- Thatch and Cassie as parents. Oh boy 😂 “Substitute cursing or not, a kid screaming out “Motherfluffer!” in the middle of the grocery store had a way of garnering some negative attention.”
- Thatch in a panic.....priceless 🤣 “Ohhh, fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck!”
"FUCK!” Ace yelled immediately, taking pride in following in his father’s footsteps, as per usual, and alerting me to their presence. Julia giggled. I, however, put my hands to my face to catch the tears I knew were coming. Forget about the missing dog, Cassie was going to kill me for teaching Ace the real F word.”

- typical with Thatch and Cassie-their pranks provide LOL moments.
- 4 year old Ace was adorable!! ❤️


Quotes
"As a man, whenever you could possibly ever, ever be wrong…you were.”

“Do you really have to go to work?” I whined. And yes, it was just as obnoxious in real life as it sounded in your head, but it worked because I’m lovable.”

“My husband had just pranked me.
I was seven months pregnant, and we had agreed on no pranks during pregnancy. The last time, when I was pregnant with Ace, one simple prank by Thatch, and I had gone a little off the deep end and given his Range Rover to a homeless man.”

“I was already ten shades of crazy without the pregnancy hormones. The addition of the hormones to my chemistry rocketed my level of crazy straight to the moon.”

“It’s all Thatcher.” I grinned. “He’s very lovable. Like a giant toddler inside of a sexy-as-fluff body.”

“I am probably going to regret asking this, but what in the hell is a Bambi pose?”
I grinned. “You haven’t seen it yet? It’s the new Instagram craze,” I explained. “And God, I love when Thatch Bambi poses for me. It probably shouldn’t turn me on, but fluffing hello, it does.”

"Okay, don’t think like an actual dog because their reasoning isn’t fully developed to human cognition, but think like a thirty-eight-year-old thinking of where a dog would be. Yeah, that was better.”

“I’m about to go into a delivery, and your husband is calling and asking me if there’s a way to put out Amber Alerts for dogs.”

OMG!!! What an amazing Mother's Day Surprise!
A THATCHER novella!

description

I found out about it last night at 3am - one-clicked it - finished reading at 4:15am!!!
AND I LOOOOOVED EVERY SINGLE LETTER IN THAT BOOK!
Thatch is such an amazing guy. He's so adorable and humble ;) and hot and such a cute Daddy!
And of course Cassie is just as amazing and Kline and Georgie and all the others!
And little Thatch - 4-year-old Ace - no one will ever doubt who his Daddio is!!! LOL!!!!!
Add in a couple more kids and 3 pets and poor Thatch has a very busy and for us a very hilarious day!!!
I hope Max Monroe will never stop giving us little Thatch novellas!
And please Hollywood - come and turn him into a Blockbuster - or at least into a little Passion Flix flick ;)

"Mother Fluffer" is the four years later epilogue of Cassie and Thatch, and their crazy pranks.
Add one pregnant lady, many pets and kids, a crazy couple, a smart daughter and many fake kidnappings later- I think Id have appreciated it way more if I read it maybe like a few months later- but since I literally read last two books in two days, this made me smile at the max.
3/5

When it's a novella the OTT humor prank and nonsense is actually more easy to ""bear"
(i like the sense of humor of Max Monroe i just feel like it's often too much and make the story complete nonsense and disapear)

There were too many UNCOMFORTABLE, ANNOYING elements in this book!

Before all the FANS attack, let me interject quickly that I am a Max Monroe fan as well - I simply disliked this book; in particular, Cassie, whom I NEVER liked from the beginning, though small doses of her snarky sluttiness were tolerable, funny even. Thatcher made Cassie a better person, though I still am trying to stomach just how much he puts up with and allows her to get away with. Perhaps it's the fact the writers are female that Thatcher made more changes and concessions in his outlook and behavior, because come on, now -- Cassie had the exact way of thinking and kind of morals where men were concerned that Thatcher possessed and practiced toward/with women! Cassie is simply too hypocritical and obnoxious to be likeable. It is NOT funny having to SEE "FLUFFER" substituted half a dozen times per page every time she or Thatcher meant "f***ler, f**k, or f**king"!!! That many times indicates serious potty mouth, and she/he perhaps ought to consider a change in vernacular and speech instead. Their children will be asking why they say "fluffer" and "fluff" all the time once they begin school. That they are trying to clean up their speech is great; the fact there's an overabundance of substitutions is the problem. Moreover, I did not pay to read nonsensical swear word substitutes every other word, sentence, paragraph or page. The dialogue detracted from any semblance of plot, and emphasized how ludicrous and snarky Cassie's personality was.

Ladies, you are extremely funny, usually. I just dislike women with potty mouths, especially if they're mothers, and I also despise those who have to always have it be about THEM and fair play. I believe a man can be handled better with sweetness and honey, and find it exhausting, not to mention uncomfortable, reading about how Cassie needs to one-up (not get even, but be SUPERIOR) to the men in her life. I cannot get behind raising a little boy and subsequent children to believe it's okay to disrespect each other in the name of competition. There needs to be a rating star that stands for "zero.". This novella was the silliest waste of money and time.

This whole crew is Fluffing amazing!

I loved this book, as much as I love this series and all of its characters! I love the couples, I'm totally in love with the kids, I love Stan and even the demoniac Cat, he is a part of the gang and I love when he shows up or they talk about him!

As expected, Thatch and Cassie are their crazy selves in this one, and again I laughed out loud reading a book from this series.
Their craziness and criativity have no boundaries and the way they play, but at the same time respect, each other is endearing and oh so funny!

And not only the love between those two. The whole group, they are like family. THey care about each other, they worry not to let the other down, they want to help and make each other happy. It was sweet and refreshing, actually.

THey wanted to make jokes and have fun, but they also wanted to please and be there for the ones they love, and I love that balance!

It was fluffling crazy, but those mother fluffers were all fliffing amazing!

The moment I saw that Max Monroe had put out a novella in the Billionaire Bad Boys there was no question that I was going to one click this book and to top it off it was about the most hilarious couple in the history of romance books, Thatch and Cassie. My god these two will have you laughing until you cry and then to make it even funnier their son Ace is basically these two combined. This book is an absolute five star read and I really hope there are more surprise books for our Billionaire Bad Boys because do any of us want to say goodbye to these three couples. Or here's a thought maybe we can fast forward to the future and the next installment can be about the children of these fantastic couples, can you imagine Kline sitting in a corner crying non stop as his girls fall in love with Thatch and Cassie's boys, now that would definitely be on my TBR.

4 "Mother-fluffing" stars. Our crazy favorite lovable couple are back! Hilarious as usual. Hands down, these two were made for each other. Thatch and Cassie pranking never gets old. I enjoyed their banter, their quick wit, and their total devotion to each other. Which in all, never gets old. If you haven't read this series, I urge you to read it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Ms. M. for this awesome "mother-fluffing"surprise.

Thatch is back in this short yet satisfying addition to the Billionaire Bad Boys series by Max Monroe. It’s got everything we have come to expect from a Max Monroe story – fantastic banter, hilarious situations, swoony moments, and a whole lot of heart.

Thatch and Cassie are still adjusting to life with one child as they get ready for adding another one. It's Mother's Day and Thatch has something special for Cassie. He planned on giving it to her that morning but a surprise photo shoot messed things up. Add in extra kids and a few more pets and finding time for the big reveal proves more difficult than he initially thought. Things don’t go at all as planned, and losing a "horse" doesn't help either....

I loved this novella. Thatch is still Thatch and funny as ever. He is still consumed with Cassie and I adored how passionate his love is for her. He would do anything to make her happy, and is always making her (and me) swoon. Cassie is still OTT hilarious in her thoughts and antics. I'll never get tired of the crazy things that flow through her head or come out of her mouth. Expecting her second child has just increased the emotion she's experiencing and it is hysterical following her around.
I was already ten shades of crazy without the pregnancy.

She's got a huge heart though and I loved that even when they are pranking each other all the time, Thatch and Cassie still love completely and strive for happiness.

Thatch and Cassie are as wonderful together as they were in the beginning. Their relationship is solid even with the changes parenthood brings and I loved that they are still head-over-heels in love. Their banter is epic and I love that they still joke around. There was no way I could keep the grin off my face while reading this novella!

Along with Thatch and Cassie, we get to see the whole gang which only made my smile bigger. Overall, this novella was a fun little snippet into the future of the Billionaire Bad Boys and instantly brought a smile to my face.

uhh..........okaaaay. Uhh I don't know if i'm to be excited or not. Thatch and Cassie, i always loved this crazy duo but...... i don't see get how this book was supposed to be fun. The first half of the book was maybe a bit funny and all and then towards the end i was like...meh uhh no. Where did the whole motherfluffer surprise come from? Too sappy. Thankfully it was a quick read else i would have been so pissed. 2.5 stars for this.

I think it's safe to say now that I'm not on team Thatch and Cassie. I tried to give this book a fair chance. I even came back to read this one 5 years after reading their original book. So it's not like I remembered much about the couple. But given I hate them after this one, I think this is a 'it's you, not me' thing.

Cassie is way too immature, despite being pregnant with her 2nd kid. The whole scene in the park was just gross, especially when she just tried to make it seem like the 'Karen' giving her grief was the problem. Even Georgia told her it was illegal to expose herself like that and that every other thing she said and did was inappropriate. I just don't get how that behavior was cute or acceptable to the author in any way. That was not comedy, it was cringe-worthy.

I still like Thatch. Sure, he's a bit immature, but he's at least a decent person who tries to control what he says and does around others. I liked seeing his interactions with the kiddos.

Ace was a cutie, I loved him and he made the book a bit more enjoyable.

Outrageous, ridiculous, and funny. Short little novella featuring Thatch and Crazy Cassie. They have a 4 year old son, Ace who is a mixture of both of them combined. And one on the way. I seriously can’t see these 2 as parents. Those poor kids. Lol

We also catch up with Georgie and Kline. Who have 2 little girls. And of course the pets Stan and Walter. Practical joke featuring poor Stan.

I love Cassie and Thatcher! This was the perfect short for a glimpse into their lives. Granted Cassie might have taken things too far but lets be real...it's Cass!

Ace was quite the funny child! I love that he calls Thatcher Daddio and is basically a little gangster! I can't wait to see what is to come with Julia and Ace!

I hope we get to see more from them soon because I love reading about the gang!

Thatch is an absolute sweetheart! The things he does for Cassie, honestly, I wish there were more like Thatcher Kelly in this world!
The dialogue between Thatch and Cassie is a mixture of funny, swoon worthy and hot! The internal ramblings from both of them are downright hilarious. I love these two so much!

Cassie and Thatch! Yes! I love these two! They are my favorite characters from the Billionaire Bad Boys books. I loved seeing them together four years in the future. This book was just too good and obviously one of my favorites because of these two. I'm sad that this series is almost done, but it was nice seeing Thatch as a father to his 4 year old.

I just love everything about Thatcher and Cassie. Their relationship is crude and sexy, but this a pair really loves each other. Needless to say there is never a dull moment with their marriage. I had read this novella a while ago, but was ready to revisit. Oh how I'd missed these two! Max Monroe has written a short, sweet, and hilarious novella. It was great visiting with all my favorite characters from the Billionaire Bad Boys! Max Monroe never disaapoints.

Max Monroe brings our favorite Billionaire Bad Boy back for one more round of fun. That's right Thatcher Kelly has got another story to make us laugh and fall in love with Thatch a bit more.

In this novella, we jump forward a few years when Thatch and Cassie's baby boy is now 4 and Cassie is pregnant again. The pair are up to their usual crazy, with pranks, flirting, and steamy moments.

Max Monroe say the fans urged them to write Thatch another story and I'm so glad they caved and did it. I would be more than happy if the Billionaire Bad Boys got another story but even if they don't Thatch has popped up in their newsletter which is always fun so at least we can get Thatched there.

If you have loved Thatcher Kelly as I have you don't want to miss Mother Fluffer.
.
.

It's Mother's Day and Cassie has to go to work, which leaves Thatcher on Dad duty with their son Ace. His Mother's Day surprise will have to wait till later but that's ok he'll hang with Ace for the day and surprise Cassie later.

When Kline shows up with his two daughters, their horse of a dog Stan and his lover Walter the cat, Thatch's day just got a little busier.

'Three kids under five, one pig, a Great Dane, and an evil cat. Come on, Thatcher. Time to parent the fuck out of this thing.'

It's not a problem though Thatch has got it handled. At least until Stan seems to disappear from a locked house while Thatch is in another room.

When Cassie finishes work early she plans to get back at Thatch for his earlier prank. He should know better than to prank his pregnant wife, so he deserves everything he gets.

So while Thatch goes crazy trying to figure out how the horse of a dog has gotten away from him, Cassie enjoys getting one up on her husband.

When Thatch figures out what his wife has done he's not going to let her off too easy, but he'll still blow her away with his Mother's Day gift.

'Every day, it felt like I only fell in love with him more. Thatch was the only man who had my heart. The only man who would ever have my heart.'

Happy Reading.
